Getting ready, set...

I'm a little bummed. Last Friday I ordered a Kipling Travel Tote, thinking it would make it here by Wednesday for my trip. The estimated date said today, so I was excited. But I just checked the FedEx shipping status and it's sitting in Dallas and the date was bumped to tomorrow--1 day late to make it on the plane with me. Now I have to find some kind of spacious tote since Simon is going to take the place of a regular carry-on. Might just have to backpack it.

I have problems, I admit it, throwing down a lot of moolah on my dog. I just got him a cute little coat for the cold in PA since it's going to be quite frigid and the poor little guy has never experienced winter. Then I got my parents a chew toy for their puppy, Jax, because he's a Labrador and those things are chew crazy. I also got samples of Orijen Large Puppy food since that's the brand we've been buying for Simon. We actually have been mixing his Innova Puppy Food with Orijen 6 Fish for Dog since he was getting a little bit pudgy on the rich puppy food and we needed to transition him to adult.

I've packed his Molly Mutt bed, his 3 kongs with treats, his chew toys and his skineez rabbit. I have his health certificate (just in case), his travel bowls, his gentle leader collar, his leash, his sedative pills, 14 days of food measured out into bags, his pee pads for the trip, as well as his Reindeer Antlers. All this... and now I have barely any room for my own stuff!

It's like having a baby. Seriously. I need that tote because it was going to be like my Doggie Diaper Bag!

I am a crazy puppy momma. I fear the day I have children.
